  The fact that Elizabeth Taylor not only saved Montgomery Clift&apos;s life in 1956, &nbsp;but that she also risked hurting her career threatening &nbsp;reporters and photographers who were &nbsp;trying to get a picture of him in his severely injured state... &nbsp; That tells you everything you need to know about their friendship. &nbsp;She always spoke of him as her &apos;brother&apos; and her best friend even long after he&apos;d passed.<br><br>Thank you Coby! &nbsp;I know this might not get all the views, &nbsp;but this movie holds a special place in my heart. &nbsp;Thank you for giving my humble suggestion a Youtube premiere!! 🥰

  It probably won’t pull in the views, but this is the type of movie I’d like to see you react to. &nbsp;Old, in other words.

  Other people have commented in other videos about this but I&apos;m so glad that you react to films that haven&apos;t been exhaustively covered by other YouTube reactors.

  Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor were amoung the best young rising stars when this movie premiered in 1951. He was 31, she was 19. They became lifelong friends.

  Above all, you have to admire Coby for LOVING movies so much. It’s infectious.

  The Prosecutor was Raymond Burr, best known for playing Perry Mason on TV, but you&apos;d know him as Jimmy Stewart&apos;s neighbor, who he thought murdered his wife in &quot;Rear Window&quot;.

  This channel just gets better &amp; better. Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift are two icons of American cinema. Giants. Titans. Mythological. Both of them, in different ways, embody beauty meeting tragedy. This is epic Hollywood.

  Definitely check out “From Here to Eternity” (1953).

  These old movies actually unfold for the viewer instead of spoonfeeding everything like today&apos;s films.

  A Place in the Sun (1951) was based on the novel “An American Tragedy” by Theodore Dreiser. I guess they didn’t think they would sell as many movie tickets if they kept the original title.

  James Dean was a big fan of Montgomery Clift and cited him as a huge influence. Dean saw A Place in the Sun every chance he got.
